Maki Shrine on Phoenix St. in Fukui

White flag and orange lantern under the blue sky

When I was driving back home from Taicho-ji Temple in Fukui city, which is a mere six kilometers away from my place, I spotted a tall white flag fluttering in the wind on Phoenix Street. Intrigued, I slowed down my car and found it was a shrine. Since the white flag and the paper orange lanterns there looked so beautiful, I made a U-turn and decided to explore it. The shrine is called, 'Maki Shrine', or it could also be called, 'Make Shrine', but I couldn't find any other information about it because it's not even on the Internet list of the Fukui Shrines Agency! However, there is a fairly famous shrine called, 'Maki (Make) Shrine' in Echizen city, so it must be related to it somehow. Anyway, it was a beautiful addition to my exploration of the day!
